The 2024 General Campaign has officially begun!


Heads up for the amazing volunteers out contacting local businesses to support CAUW. Volunteers are visiting local businesses with donation packets and information. If you haven't seen them already, you likely will this month.


There are so many ways to give! Feel free to reach out directly if you'd like.

October 10th is

World Mental Health Day!

World Mental Health Day is a global initiative aimed at raising awareness of mental health issues and promoting mental well-being for all. This year, it's more important than ever to recognize the importance of mental health in our daily lives. Whether you're taking time for self-care, reaching out to loved ones, or learning about available resources, every action counts. Let’s come together to break the stigma around mental health, encourage open conversations, and support each other on the journey to well-being. Visit our website for helpful tools and resources to prioritize your mental health today.
